    Notes: Abstract Oligonucleotide probes constructed from the sequences published for Shiga-like toxin I (SLT-I) and Shiga-like toxin II (SLT-II) genes and antibody against the purified toxins were used to study the SLT (SLT-IIp) produced by porcine E. coli O138 and O139 strains. By DNA hybridization assays no homology was observed between SLT-I and SLT-IIp. By contrast the oligonucleotide probe derived from the slt-II A gene detected porcine strains of E. coli producing SLT-IIp and E. coli strains associated with human disease producing SLT-II. Homology of nucleotide sequences between SLT-IIp and SLT-II is reflected by serological cross-reactivity as demonstrated by a dot blot ELISA and neutralization of SLT-IIp with anti-SLT-II. The toxins were distinguishable in their ability to kill HeLa S-3 cells. The oligonucleotide probe and anti-SLT-II can facilitate identification of SLT-IIp producing E. coli to further clarify their role in diseased pigs.

    Notes: Abstract Besides diarrheagenic enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) that produce classical heat stable and/or heat labile enterotoxins (STs, LTs) and the class of Shiga-like toxin-producing enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), a new category of E. coli is defined sharing similarities with ETEC and EHEC. DNA hybridization studies indicate that some E. coli serovars from porcine origin harbor genes encoding cytotonic ST and cytotoxic Shiga-like toxin. The presence of two potent toxins might contribute to the virulence of such strains and should be taken into consideration when bioassays are performed.
